Recombinant DNA techniques offer the possibility of diagnosing genetic defects directly by analysing DNA itself. This is especially interesting for detecting carriers of recessive defects. In comparison with phenotypic screening with progeny testing or biochemical tests, DNA screening is independent of the time of gene expression and is not influenced by non-genetic effects. If the mutation causing the defect is...
